PREFACE. 



-* — +—+ 



The warnings of Scripture against the 
evils of strong drink are many, and to glean 
them from different parts of the Bible is a 
task which few people are willing to under- 
take. It therefore seems necessary in behalf of 
the best interests of temperance work, that 
these Bible truths, the highest authority known 
to man, be gathered,, arranged and published 
in some convenient form for reference and for 
general use in temperance work. 

In view ol these facts the author has sought to 
meet this necessity, by issuing this hand book or 
phamphlet in a convenient form, and at a price 
that all may be supplied.

Eph. 5: 18. And be not drunk with wine,

1 Tim, 3: 2-3 A bishop then must be blame-

The Quotations contained in this pamphlet 
are taken from 

THOMPSON'S NEAV DICTIONARY OF 

BIBLE QUOTATIONS. 

This work is arranged by subjects alphabetical- 
ly, and similar to that of the Oxford and Cru- 
den's Concordance. 

It not only contains all the subjects and ref- 
erences in the Oxford Concordance (that of the 
S. S. Teacher's Edition) but about two hundred 
(200) more subjects and about ten thousand (10, 
000) more references taken from the best Con- 
cordances. 

This work not only gives the references to the 
verses or passages of the Scripture, but givps 
the verses or passages in full, as well. 

The New Testament quotations being most 
important, are given first under their respective 
subjects, followed by the Old Testament quo- 
tations. 

This work, while being valuable to Bible stu- 
dents, and a work which should be iu every 
home, is especially useful in S. S., Y. M. C. A., 
Y. P. S. C. E., and W. C. T. U. societies, as any 
subject which may be under discussion, may in 
this work, be turned to at once, and everything 
contained in the Scripture on that subject may 
be tound in a nut shell, thus saving time and 
study in gleaning them from the Scripture, as 
lias formerly been necessary. 



This work is spoken of in the highest terms 
by Clergymen, who are good authorities, as not 
only being a valuable book but one that meets 
the demands of the times. 

This work is now ready for publication, but 
up to this date is not yet published . This book 
when published will contain about twelve hun- 
dred pages. Ail who order before it is 
published, may obtain the same at two dollars 
and fifty cents per volume, thus saving one dol- 
lar per volume, as the regular retail price af- 
ter publication , will be three dollars and fifty 
cents per volume. Those wishing to order
